[@fdort3971]

I definitely needed a Tamar video today! Everything I tried to do today just turned to s@#£... I just about chucked my tools out the door! Unlike you I don't have a workshop yet...since I don't live alone I can't just do what I want. So I have been going around grabbing roadside "ritches " and free stuff off marketplace trying to start my own workshop and storage to start my own woodworking business repurposing items...this summer I have lost sooo much time to rain! I'd swear I live in nova Scotia but we are not supposed to have a monsoon season and I'm pretty sure I didn't move to a rain forest...sigh. I really needed the laugh from seeing you on the skateboard. I thought I was the only person who used one for a dolly! Thanks for the laughs and inspiration!

[@fdort3971]

My jaw dropped when you said you sprained your ankle too! I'd spent the whole day collecting free wood and stuff with my oldest son. I pushed past my limits bcuz weather is killing my time...plus I'm excited to be preparing for my new workshop. When we got home my runaway teenager had decided to come back unannounced (we don't get along...breaks my heart). As you can imagine I was distracted...when I realised I forgot something in the car. I made the mistake of turning around on the steps. My stupid bad hip said screw you I'm done for the day! It randomly let go and down I went...my hair got caught in the fencing effectively pinning me to the ground. All I heard was awful cracking...thought for sure I broke something as it was my second fall in a month...same ankle. Over extended my left arm...😢. I would not wish my bad luck on anyone (ok maybe bad guys...lol). It's encouraging to see you and I have similar struggles and you prevailing! Gives me hope

[@bobbg9041]

Congratulations, from a dusty dirty cold and hot shed (she shed?) To this updated much improved custom studio shop. Your moving up. Looking forward to more projects Like the folding roll up chair you did That didn't work out. Still a neat concept and you dont know if you dont try. Lots a new machines to work with. Thus far it all costing money. Be nice to see you making custom stuff to sell to client's getting a return on the investment. Stay small, a lot of shops went big only to hire people who had bad habits. I got lumber from a shop as he closed about 1/4 the cost he was bassicly giving it away to retire. As I was looking at what he had we found a crack pipe in his shop that looked like a magic marker. This fool was using drugs in the shop working if he'd gotten hurt on the job well you cant trust people have comon since enough to know not to be using drugs and running power equipment, the risk for serious injury is beyond imagination and the shop owner would be responsible. This is the risk you take hiring someone. And I'd fire them on the spot if I caught them doing it. No second chances and I'd be very clear about that policy.

[@wittworks]

You’re so smart. Show people the new laguna so they get so pissed off they don’t notice the Festool Kapex in the next shot. You’re a legend. I’m taking notes. Well done on everything! Love this! 🎉 congrats.

[@danc2207]

I love it when youtube legends riff on each other. Or at least youtube woodworkers...

[@johndoe6032]

Looks like a great design. Ignore the people that complain about you using higher end tools. You have made many amazing projects over the years using budget tools. You have definitely earned you right to have nicer tools, and they should recognize that and that you have proven time and time again you don't need high end tools to make high-end products.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

I appreciate that! And I’m really glad you see it that way. I was once a beginner who got frustrated when I saw someone use a router table to achieve something when I didn’t have a router table… so I get it. But watching those videos also gave me inspiration and goals that’s I wanted to achieve. I am proud to say I am no longer a beginner woodworker and I shouldn’t pretend to be one for viewers who are looking to get for that content. I will keep on growing and I hope ppl will come along for the ride, but if they don’t, that’s ok too ☺️

[@tropaes]

Absolutely.

[@leiwa100]

Wholeheartedly agree. I can't deny a sense of jealousy seeing those amazing tools that I do not currently afford. But, having followed your progress over the past several years, I know that they are all hard earned. One of the charms of your channel has always been how you figure out to do things without the special tools. Seeing the floating tenons done the hard way before bringing out the domino is appreciated.

[@thegringobaker]

You could have all Festools now and if still enjoy your videos because I've watched your progression, and know from where you've come. Your shop is fantastic, btw.

[@53rdPlaceStudios-com]

right on, tamar…! i for one am highly impressed by the skillful way you present your woodworking videos and how much you have progressed since starting your yt channel…! there is constructive criticism and there’s deconstructive complaining; constructive criticism always wins out… complaining commenters about your shop or tools only do one thing: the complainer gives you their time; something they will never get back…! 😂 best wishes for a speedy ankle recovery…! (i personally don’t want to see a video of the twisting your ankle video… 😢)

Looking great so far, you should be super proud! If you have the time, I’d vote yes to making the plans available for purchase. And yep…def want to see the ankle vid! Knowing that you’re ok means I can laugh and not feel guilty (a little bit).

Really a great project . Congratulation! May i ask you where i can buy the small vice whitch you integrated in the workbench ? Thanks a lot in advance. Greetings from Germany Harry

[@MtlCstr]

It's so cool you're building out your new shop and getting bigger and better equipment. At the same time, for me, one of the appeals of your channel was how beginner-friendly it has been. I don't want to suggest that you should hold back and not progress, I just found it so awesome that you made beginner equipment work so well. It made woodworking seem more accessible for newbies. It's great that you continue to show simpler options during your builds. Thanks for your content and keep on cracking.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

I totally get it and this was probably the best comment on this topic. Usually ppl aren’t as nice… ha. I have been doing this for a while and I am no longer a beginner. Hopefully all beginner woodworkers get to the stage I am at and further as they progress ☺️

[@andrewbattelini4532]

​​@@3x3CustomTamar- totally agree with the parent comment here, as someone who found you when looking to get into it. The great thing is seeing the progression though, rather than just ignoring all the beginner development you went through. I know it's not a "normal" theme for you, but it would actually be really cool if you put out a career breakdown video of some kind, going over the big milestones in your projects / the work that you do, the shop developments that accompanied all of those, and how the knowledge you picked up over time looks like. Not a small one, but thinking of your joint/tool breakdowns that clearly show insight to when you started using different techniques, milling your own lumber, etc. - it'd be invaluable in terms of helping folks conceptualize the journey even if they're just hobbyists (that'd be me 😅). Either way, great work again and cheers!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

@@andrewbattelini4532 hmmmm. I’m not sure if I can even define those things for myself. They kinda just… happened… ha. And I guess if you watch my videos I’m chronological order you would see some sort of progression 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

[@matthewphillips5483]

@@3x3CustomTamar You are still a beginner if you need power tools to do everything. That isn't real woodworking. Try building your bench from hand tools.

[@captainvette2112]

So you dont think building a workbench out of $1600 worth of 8/4 maple boards, $500 worth of maple plywood, and $300 worth of walnut is beginner friendly? LoL Thass not even professional friendly. Nobody does that except KZbin influencer woodworkers.

[@yooperpete]

I've watched this video about four times now. What a beautiful result that stems from fine materials and great technique. More more!

[@tsikoutsikou]

Yes, if you could prepare plans for us that would be amazing. Great job!!!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Noted!

[@stefanbuscaylet]

Love the idea of plans, but really helpful for than plans would be access to the sketchup file. I inevitably want to adapt these designs and end up redrawing my own sketchup from the plans. A step I’d love to drop. Just an idea. Thanks for sharing your work and hope you’re healing well.

[@craigandresen2456]

Scratch all the time for custom plans with dimensioned pieces and just make your sketch up file available. We would all make changes anyway to adapt to our needs, spaces, heights, vices, etc. Nice build!

[@davidpeters8813]

Great video and a great bench! As others have said, just the Sketchup file would be perfect because we often tweak things to fit our needs/space anyway so it's a deviation from the plan.

[@williamodom2580]

God bless this little girl in Saint Jude and mom and dad. I’m praying for all of you.

[@qapla]

Tamar, that looks like a very well thought out work bench. Since we all have our own way of working, it is good to have one designed for our individual needs and it is good you took the time to think it out before jumping into building this. By all means, breaking this build into multiple videos is fine, since it gives us more chances to visit with you while you work. Your videos are always fun to watch, as well as informative and we miss you when you don't post. Looking forward to the rest of this series. Please take care of that injury - sure we would like to see what caused it; it may help us to avoid the same type of injury.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Workbenches are so personal. I’m so excited to get to use this one

[@chm1701]

I really like the fact that you’ve upped the game with regards to your tools. Through the progression of your channel, you’ve shown what it’s like to do the work with basic tools (and in a shop that has drastically varying temperatures) and what it’s like as someone who’s able to increase the quality of their tools as time goes on; it’s not like you’ve just clicked your fingers and bought your current spec - you’ve worked hard for it! Anyone who has a passion for woodworking and happens to have a little or a lot of spare cash would do just the same. Either way, hold your head high and be proud. The bench is looking great. Keep up the great work and heal well.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

I feel very proud for what I created here ☺️☺️☺️

[@Dandroid61]

This is a great video. We saw you start with "cheap" tools. Now you have some really nice tools you've "earned". I love this and appreciate your work. Keep doing what you're doing. We love you Tamar!

[@hazymunkey]

Never feel bad about getting better more expensive tools ect.. You worked for it and earned it thats what it's all about. It's been so fun to watch you grow and learn as we all learn right along with you.

[@ingenuityartisan3091]

Facts

[@PB8man]

I think most people are just irritated because influencers shove all these expensive tools in our face like they're the best thing... but they got them for free to begin with. Seems very shill-ish and very much not genuine.

[@chrisdemeglio7983]

Hey Tamar. As always, great build with easy detailed narration. I am sure the end result will be up to your standards of quality and beauty. I am not one who cares about free stuff given to makers. Manufacturers spend thousands of dollars on marketing and this is a type of marketing reserved for woodworkers like yourself, J. Katz, J. Hibbs, etc. My one pet peeve for me is the transparency of the affordability of what is being built. I saw Bourbon moth build a chop saw station and it was fantastic. He never revealed what it would cost US if we were to try and build it. I went and priced out Baltic Birch and other higher end plywood and it is hard to afford. So I built mine out of 2x4 and regular 3/4 plywood. I've purchased wood from Woodworkers Source and they are far from inexpensive, especially with the shipping that is involved. I guessed the sizes from what you had stacked up and it came to almost $2000. That was only for the wood you are using for your frame. Now I am sure you are getting the wood for a lower cost or for free or you would have gotten your lumbar local, but that is neither here nor there. It would be great to give a cost breakdown for regular people who will not get any deals like woodworkers on You Tube get. This would helpful in deciding if a project like the one you are building is within the means of the regular person. I am not getting on you for this, I am just stating that watching you build the things you do is entertaining and enjoyable but the projects can sometimes be out of our league. To be honest I don't think there are many makers who do this, other than Shop Nation on some of his builds. I you can't, or won't, that is fine. One of the comments had requested a supply list and you stated you have been talking to WWS about it so, if that happens, we could find out that way. Anyway, be safe and be blessed.

[@mygardencart9060]

i've loved learning from you for such a long time. its so wonderful to have watched you build in "humble" beginnings, and to see you progress in your style, ability and equipment. thank you for breaking down your videos so a beginner"ish" woodworker such as myself can follow along and learn from you. i love your projects and your teaching. and not one to pass up wanting to see how you hurt your ankle!

Tamar I’m so excited for you, you’ve worked so hard and it’s amazing to see how advanced your shop not to mention skill set and expertise has grown since you’re first video posted. You’ve used about every method there is for building complex, high quality builds and always did the best job of sharing “how to” so thank you, these upgrades are very well earned and look forward to every build in the future! Love the shop made tenons, that’s the one joinery method I’m not looking forward to learning, for some reason it seems daunting however I’ll power through it on the next build. I’ve just recently used bridle joints and half laps for a hickory vanity build but it’s through your content that aided in me having the knowledge to go about it and the courage. Is it just me or is there some kind of joinery phobia we all have to get passed?

Great Job! I realize it is too late, but did you ever think about moving such a heavy bench when you decided to use glued floating tenons? If so you should have used different joinery method so you could break the base down into sections. When I made my roubo style workbench I thought I would never have to worry about moving it until we actually had to move. Then I was so grateful that I went with bolted mortise and tenon so I could take it apart when we moved, like you would do with a bed frame. No matter, great job. Looks like a strong and solid bench. I did not realize how a great workbench improves your woodworking. Have fun and continue to show us your videos. Thanks!

I too sprained my ankle very badly over 3 years ago and it still gives me aches. I hope your recovery goes better (I am much older than you so there is hope).😀

[@3x3CustomTamar]

I fear it will never get back to normal 😭

[@TheTomporter]

Love the combination approach of an old school workbench and assembling table in one. Just frustrating to live in Europe and have fewer options for high quality wood - that Maple looks fabulous.

[@dianeewoldt3035]

I use floating tenons for most of my door making joinery and also make my own tenons. To allow for glue squeeze out I route a very shallow groove down both faces of my tenons with a 60 degree V groove bit. This prevents any hydraulic action when gluing up stile and rails. LOVE your bench design!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

That’s a great idea!

[@bumbletastic]

I just went back to watch your tutorial on milling rough cut lumber, and so happy to stumble on this to see the upgrade! Your shop is definitely **goals**

[@3x3CustomTamar]

It’s really been awesome to make this space my own!

[@joshdrake32]

So cool laguna sent you a new planer. It looks awsome in your shop. I like yoir bench design too. I'm surprised you didn't put the injury in the futtage. Part of the reason I like your videos is you let the viewers know about your mistakes. We all injure ourselves and feel stupid about it. It would be very human of you to include it! Let's see it!

[@KirkJean-v1m]

Great to see you building your shop and business. I remember when you first started out with entry level tools, working in a coat and tuk. Always loved the way you explained your project builds with no ego just a love for woodworking.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Glad to not be freezing anymore. Ha

[@cliff5240]

Nice use of the skateboard. That is a great-looking workbench, almost too nice to use. You have come so far since I first started watching you several years ago -- I love all of the new tools you have added to your shop, it is so exciting to when those new tools come along, you deserve everything you have, hard work pays off!! Keep the video coming and best wishes on a speedy recovery.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much! Posting the next one tomorrow!

[@bobbayne]

I have seen only a few of your video’s and was very pleased as I was left thinking, here is someone doing quality work with affordable tools with great explanation for less. UNTIL this video, wow, you certainly moved up with very fancy tools. Congratulations. I am sure you have worked quite hard to get here.

[@sailnut55mc43]

Yes please on the plans! This is one of the best designs, in my opinion, among the several already out there! Thank you!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Awesome to hear! On it!

[@jplieurance]

Very nice. Like you attention to detail, such as notching the corners with the jigsaw, and the spacers for the ends of the cabinet.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thank you very much!

[@davegravel3740]

Interesting idea to combine the benches. Can't wait to see the finished bench and what the pros and cons of it are after a few months using it. I'm in a limited space. 2 1/2 car garage but have to make room to park the car. So everything but the miter station gets casters. Yes, show how the sprain happened. It could help others avoid the same when they see it happen.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

I’m excited to build my first project with it and figure all that out!

[@andreg.shappell1155]

Yes, plans, please! What a delight to see the progress on your beautiful shop! Thank you for sharing it with us!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

You got it!

[@petewebster2977]

Beautiful job, Tamar . A very strong work bench. I bought a Festool Rotex 150 sander , it is the best sander I have ever owned. I would highly recommend it . Pete Australia 🇦🇺

[@MCsCreations]

Beautiful work, Tamar! The workbench is looking amazing!!! 😃 Looking forward to the next part! And get better soon! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much!

[@YourResidentSerb]

Ive just started woodworking and I have been watching a lot of your older videos. Its great to see what you made with those and how you evolved your shop. Dont let the haters get to you about all the pro tools you have now. To me, you put your time in and earned them all the while helping new guys like me learn along the way. Id love to see the plans to this bench, something to aspire to in the future as I upgrade my 2x4 pine top! Thanks for all you time in making these videos

[@3x3CustomTamar]

I have been doing this KZbin thing for a while now. I’m pretty hardened to any negative comments. Don’t worry about me. Ha. So glad you like the bench! Plans are now available

[@loridarling8923]

Great design and technique❤. You are a high-level woodworker, so it makes sense to be using high-end tools. Of course I’m jealous along with others, but I am no where near your level. I am saving for a Festool Domino joiner for my next workbench. And YES- I would love to have these plans. Hope your ankle is all healed up.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

So glad you liked it! The domino changed my life

[@martinholden2281]

Amazing attention to detail, I think your work table will serve you well, Tamar. Take care of that ankle, and stay on the mend.

[@Dcreed76]

I would love plans for this, but telling us the rough dimensions first might be very helpful as well. Thanks for another great video! Wishing you full and fast healing with the ankle

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Yup! Always put dimensions on plan listings so people can decide before purchasing. Glad you liked it!

[@Dcreed76]

Oh, I know that. I meant it might help people determine their interest in the plans. Sorry if I wasn’t clear on that. Went for brevity

[@brian_bielanski]

You are one of the best educators on KZbin. Really appreciate your laid back, show-it-all approach. Keep it up!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@organize1979]

That’s a beautiful table! And I like your overarm dust collection on the saw! Hope your ankle feels better!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks!!

[@jamesbrooks8984]

Hi Tamar. I have been watching your videos for years and absolutely love your work. As my daughter is also a professional woodworker you are a model and an inspiration to us both. Watching you work on this video I couldn't help but notice your current out-feed table saw situation. I used rollers for years and last year bit the bullet and got the integrated out-feed table for my Saw-stop. It is a game changer! I know. There's never enough money to buy all the tools we want, yet I'd highly recommend you give it a look. It stows away so well and has made my rollers nearly obsolete. Keep up the great work Tamar. Thrilled you're enjoying such success. I clearly remember those one car garage videos and marveling how you did so much with so little!

[@robertrohler3644]

Wow - well done, that new workbench will be a great addition to your new shop. Thank you for sharing with us your construction method (ways and means) for getting the base built. Look forward to seeing more builds and more projects. When I build projects for my kids, I include the cost of newly purchase tools (both small and larger tools) in my construction cost. One of my most recent projects I purchased a new drill press, so that new outdoor wooden chair for their back yard cost big bucks but now I have a new tool for future projects. Nice new planner :)

[@studiogerk]

Sorry to hear about your ankle, glad you're taking care of it! Also glad to see you with all the new higher end tools, your work behooves this! And yes once you move away from straight knives there's no going back! Keep it up Tamar!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Such a difference in finish quality!

[@dmgallo]

Tamar, can you share what your wood order looked like for the build? Maybe even a video of how to go about figuring out how to translate plan requirements into an order? I started trying to figure it out, but wasn't sure how you specified certain lengths and widths.

[@pejmanjavaheri9758]

Amazing craftsmanship with every build! Simply incredible wood working!

[@Poundy]

yeah we all want to see the blooper reel... but like most people here, I think this is another great vid from you, showing the progression from an "easy" bench to a functional one, and a progression from a great "starter" thicknesser to what you really need if you're setting up a dream workshop like you are! Congrats on getting to that stage!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks! Lots of people are disappointed I’ve gotten to this stage. But I am very happy to be here. Ha

[@Poundy]

@@3x3CustomTamar well anyone who is disappointed you've got there are just jealous you have more skill than them - I'm happy to admit that you do, but have nothing but full respect for that!

[@johnkelly6942]

I haven’t watched any of your videos for quite awhile. SawStop, Laguna, Festool. Life is good!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

☺️☺️☺️

[@rachelbayne5466]

Holy moly. Look how far you've come! Truly amazing, as always.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

☺️☺️

[@williammrdeza9445]

Awesome project Tamar! Looking forward to part 2. It is great watching you continue to evolve your shop, tools, skill set, and projects over the years. I have learned a a lot from you over the years and anticipate I'll be learning a lot more from your new shop. Hope your recovery from the sprain goes well and healing comes quickly. Also, if you are willing, it would be great to see the accident that led to the sprain! It sounds like you are a good sport about sharing that.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much! I’ll share it with a content warning as some ppl don’t want to see it

[@setphaser]

Also I LOVE that you got Free Lux planer! You so deserve it! You’re the reason I own such high quality wood working tools like my wood handled Awl (to replace the one stolen from my dad) and a few other beauties. Also yay for knee clamp, boo for not learning glue up and long pipe clamp lessons!

[@SomewhatAbnormal]

Wow! It has been awhile since I’ve watched one of your videos but you really upped your game! New equipment and new shop! Congratulations! No more Dewalt job site saw embedded in a table! For the record, I have an older DW job site saw and a router that I designed a custom cabinet around and I was influenced by your saw.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

It’s been really fun to set up this new shop!

[@Echo3_]

Not to take away from your amazing skills, but those pants are the true MVP of this video 😍😍

[@KlayJones]

I always enjoy your videos! You're a great teacher, designer, and woodworker. Thank you for sharing your talents! I hope your family is well and that your ankle continues to heal!

[@Mellerman4]

Very interesting build. I'm also wanting to build a new workbench and am combing youtube for ideas on what I want to do. Thanks for sharing! And of course you should post the video of your accident. It would be a good safety lesson for everyone and let's be honest here... we all get a little guilty pleasure from watching that sort of thing especially since we know you haven't been permanently maimed.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Haha I love showing it to ppl in real life.

[@allendean9755]

I'm just starting to get into wood working and I must say, it teaches you patience, something I've always lacked. This was an amazing build and, very inspiring. Thank you for this!

[@buffalosoldier19d42]

I'm glad I clicked on this video. My Dewalt planer did the same thing to me the other day. I took it apart and cleaned it out. That worked but, now I'm wondering if it was the safety switch and I just got lucky. If/when it happens again, I'll know what to check. I love your dust collection set up.

[@Sailor1010]

Not only has your tool collection improved but so has your video quality. Looking forward to watching more. Also, I just signed up for Woodworkers Source.

[@Aaron-nj4ou]

I am happy for you and your success Tamar but I do miss the old shop and watching you complete tasks without the massive tool collection. I downsized my cabinet saw and bought the jobsite Dewalt based on watching you make all those great projects 👍
